[ionic belfry]

[ionic belfry]

LOL

[prime oxide]

Good luck peoples

[uncut wolf]

If anyone has anxiety over Cornell tomorrow, u can DM me if u want :))

[tepid berry]

In ~10.5 hours I’ll know where I’m going to college. That’s weird. I know I’m screaming into the void here but I kind of don’t want to get in to any of the Ivies I applied to. I’ve gotten myself so set and excited on umich and I don’t want anything to interrupt that, which it definitely will if I accepted anywhere today. I don’t know it’s just anxiety over my future mainly

Thank you stranger, I can tell you’re reading and understanding by the changing emoji reactions

[random junco]

Aha yes I understand. You got this

[clear ravine]

Super valid

[gaunt jungle]

omg same

like i want to get in, but what if it takes my luck away from umich? why cant i just have unlimited luck 😦 but still i also dont want to get rejected, so ACCEPT ME CORNELL

[sand cliff]

I am pretty much the same with Binghamton (SUNY)

I've spent 2 weeks convincing myself I'm gonna go there

[shrewd rivet]

omg real

[sand cliff]

So I kinda dont wanna get into any ivy so I can just stay with my simple plan and spend next to nothing on college

[obtuse bay]

🌽🌽🌽

[tiny wigeon]

did anyone here apply for the Operations Research and Engineering major?

[pseudo tartan]

Yeah I did for ED

[gaunt jungle]

CORNELLLLL ACCEPT ME

[dusk hornet]

Cornell will accept me if not it will face my wrath…! 😡😡

[hidden sorrel]

Please I just wanna get into one school

[fading sphinx]

👹 👹 👹

[slender matrix]

🌽L will be a 🌽W today

[wheat hamlet]

Is gt or cornell better for cs

At full price for both

[elfin thunder]

cornell

but cornell full price is more expensive then gt full price

if that doesnt matter cornell

[wheat hamlet]

Ok

But is it 30k extra better

[elfin thunder]

debatable its tough ngl, but yes id say so

[narrow sphinx]

[tiny wigeon]

how did it go?

[rancid abyss]

If I get into Cornell I'm eating nothing but corn for the next week

[brisk matrix]

i'd also do that fr

[tiny wigeon]

i hope you only eat corn for the next week, i'll join the cult if i get in

[brisk matrix]

corn is just scrumdiddly yum yum

[narrow swan]

i will buy premium corn syrup and only drink that

[tiny wigeon]

levelling it up I see...

[weak valve]

no

i feel like itll give me a label i cannot return from

ive been to the gaming lounge twice

1. during orientation week to see what it was + 2. during a club social to play mario kart n shit on the switch

i play on laptop

My Cornell supplements are so bad that I better get a personalized rejection letter

[little dagger]

Are yall being fr or am I dense asf

[rough turret]

why?

[narrow swan]

i just got a personalised cornell interview invite from aos

[wraith vigil]

guys will they read my application if I send it by tonight?

[little dagger]

I have come to the conclusion that I lack brain cells

[tiny wigeon]

...

[little dagger]

You gotta send it thru carrier legion

*pigeon

[dull rover]

Are you trolling bae

[little dagger]

and challenge the AO to a duel for a seat

[brazen crag]

omg they sent me a cob of corn

[narrow swan]

yo thats my plan. i'mma challenge them to a corn fight

[patent narwhal]

Only one way to find out

[elfin thunder]

Connections alumni network prestige worth it for 30k more but if u chose gt you wouldn’t be at loss

[little dagger]

Demonstrated Interest 📈📈

[narrow swan]

guys. do you all think there is an ao in this thread

[elfin thunder]

No

[narrow swan]

maybe eating corn and watching our messages

[narrow swan]

there was one in the dartmouth thread

during ed

[brazen crag]

wait fr??

[narrow swan]

yah. but that wasn't on a2c thread. it was a different server only for darty applicants. she (the ao) showed up at last moment and we knew we are fumcked. (at least i was)

[brazen crag]

💀 what happened in the server damn

[narrow swan]

we dont talk about that

[brazen crag]

💀💀💀 okay that sounds... not good

[ionic hearth]

🌽

[ashen pilot]

i can’t really

[pseudo tartan]

I was accepted

I’m thinking I want to do cs with orie minor tho. I put orie on my application because it fit my ECs better.

[junior pasture]

corn(h)ell university

[edgy lichen]

are y'all not allowed to discuss

portal astrology

[narrow swan]

give us a prompt then

[karmic jasper]

omg woah me too

first ive seen on this server lol

[ionic belfry]

I love the archy kids

[pseudo tartan]

Where did you see that? I thought business at Dyson has the lowest accept rate

[ionic belfry]

2 of my best friends are architexture

Tomorrow is dragon day too

[karmic jasper]

ooh fr?

i’m praying so hard to get into cornell arch

what do your friends think about it???

[ionic belfry]

I’ll def set u up with my friends if u do

They love it

Coolest people ik

Literally only flaw with arch is that it just isn’t that diverse

But that’s also bc rly small program

[karmic jasper]

how not diverse are we talking??

[ionic belfry]

Uh my friend is the only black freshman ☠️

They have other races tho not all white

Lot of Asian internationals

[karmic jasper]

oooo thats interesting

sucks for him though

💀

[hardy fulcrum]

Wow

[ionic belfry]

Her but yeah

[karmic jasper]

arch is REAL small

[ionic belfry]

Check out the dragon day insta account

It’s all arch freshmen

[karmic jasper]

okay!! i will!

[ionic belfry]

Also u barely have exams which is nice

Just a crap ton of projects lmao

[karmic jasper]

i love projects

but the stress has to be CRAZY

[ionic belfry]

Def

But their break started early December I wanted to kill them

[karmic jasper]

LOL real

okay well i will hit you up if i get in 💀

🙏🙏

[weak valve]

i wrote a 6 page essay in

3.5 hrs

and grinded a huge chem lab out in

3.5-4.5 hrs

W

i am done!

for spring break!

!!

other than spanish tmrw

💀

[restive raven]

spanish????

u need to take spanish at cornell?

[frigid anchor]

💀

[slender matrix]

I’m so cooked 💀my mid year report definitely screwed me over

[prime oxide]

nah yall got this

[weak valve]

cas has a language requirement bro

also its medical spanish

so its fun

😇

[restive raven]

can i skip it if i get ap spanish credit

[weak valve]

no

i got a 5

u have to take a placement test

its only one class

if u do mid

on the placement

if u do rlly rlly well u can test out i think but its hard

[restive raven]

o im screwed then

ig im taking spanish again

[hybrid temple]

W!!

[clear brook]

It's so Cornover 😢😭

[rigid flint]

Lol

[patent badge]

lmao idk i guessed

i kinda based it on # of undergrads

but also word of mouth

[patent badge]

pray we get in

although i heard its really depressing at cornell

[patent badge]

we are a small bunch

did u get into any other uni for arch

[woeful dew]

no

i have friends who go there

they have a great time

[nova gorge]

im getting in im getting in im getting in

[foggy pasture]

checklsit is gone wooho it's getting closeer

[weak valve]

its only one course

dw

slightly heavy workload but its ok

ama about cornell yall 😇 pre or post decision

[alpine moth]

Cornell I will sacrifice my left leg for you

Please

[slender matrix]

i think ill draw the line at eating corn for a month... 💀

[alpine moth]

You don’t want it badly enough

I was about to say my left nuts but I don’t want to get banned

[fallen delta]

Tf? Lmao give this bro a ✅ for the show😂

[alpine moth]

On god

[sand cliff]

I applied to Planning in the architecture school

[rocky prism]

Good luck y’all, rlly

[sand cliff]

Do u think planning is just as hard as architecture to get into

idts i think the architecture is a different beast

[ionic belfry]

Planning is awesome

Ik 2 planners

[merry widget]

What time does it come out?

[drifting hill]

7pm eastern

[sand cliff]

Do the planners work as hard as the architects do? I've heard that being a cornell architecture student is INSANE workload

[patent badge]

depends on the person cuz my friend says its depressing 😭 but hes in CS so

[ionic belfry]

Arch is a trade off

You don’t have exams but you’re in the studio until 1-3 am every night

Planners take a higher mix of classes and work p hard but doesn’t seem as insane project wise

[patent badge]

probably a little easier or the same

[ionic belfry]

I have classes with a few

[patent badge]

i dont think theres many ppl applying to planning

i was abt to apply for planning but i was thinking maybe i can just get a masters in planning

[sand cliff]

Yeah i think it's one of the smallest majors

[sand cliff]

I'm gonna get a masters eventually

[patent badge]

i looked at the graduation size

[sand cliff]

that's why i'm hesitant to spend my undergrad wroking my butt off

[patent badge]

its roughly the same for arch and planning

[sand cliff]

Oh okay

but i think more ppl apply to arch

[patent badge]

stalked their insta page lawl

for sure

i wanted to take classes in planning and arch

and also have the path towards accreditation

for arch

[patent badge]

lowkey sounds hellish already idk if im ready for that

my alarm already doesnt wake me up cuz im so sleep deprived

[sand cliff]

I think cornell architecture is one of the highest workload non-engineering in the country

thats what ive heard

[patent badge]

and the pay is abysmal for the work💀

[sand cliff]

yeah

joke: it's the workload of an engineering major but w/o the pay

[patent badge]

i cant back down now

[prime oxide]

That’s insane then

[sand cliff]

It's a very prestigious program

[patent badge]

i already chose architecture since 2014

[sand cliff]

I love architecture

so cool

[patent badge]

my path is set

[sand cliff]

Yep

do it

there are lots of great programs not at cornell

[patent badge]

idk ive had more interest in urban planning recently cuz im mad at the USA

[ionic belfry]

Tbf everyone in college goes to bed late

[patent badge]

i wrote like a 23 page essay on why car dependency was awful

[sand cliff]

I wanna be an urban planner not bc i'm mad at the USA but bc i wanna invest my life in improving it

[ionic belfry]

I don’t think I’ve done to bed before midnight since the semester started lmao

They’re just stuck at studio bc they can’t take their projects back to the dorm

[patent badge]

well yeah same i wish to see improvement since its so inspiring

and like i dont wanna just be an architect designing corporate soulless things

i want to improve communities most at risk etc

[ionic belfry]

If yall get in I can give u some people’s contact info

To get the good and the bad lmao

I have one friend that switched from arch to planning

[sand cliff]

Keep in mind, 90+% of urban planning jobs are boring road design/zoning stuff

[patent badge]

i bet they prob have a lot to say abt the bad

[sand cliff]

it's not a particularly exciting career either

[ionic belfry]

And then 2 stayed in arch and 1 always a planner

[patent badge]

ik💀

zoning is fine

[ionic belfry]

Nah they seem to love it

[patent badge]

thats why i chose arch over planning

[ionic belfry]

I mean Italy later is awesome af

[sand cliff]

Yeah an arch guy i talked to totally loved it

But he said it was grueling

but there was a "we're all in this together" attitude

[patent badge]

i have not met a single happy arch major yet wtf

[sand cliff]

He said it was 14+ hours per day in the studio

[patent badge]

ok thats cool

[ionic belfry]

What grades have u talked to

[patent badge]

i think as long as i: have a strong passion in it its fine

[ionic belfry]

Exactly

[patent badge]

junior and sophmore

[ionic belfry]

Yeah if ur not into it, you’re screwed

[karmic jasper]

WE ARE! its true! and I got into RPI for architecture and its my top (besides cornell)

[ionic belfry]

Interesting

[strong juniper]

Anybody here for CS ??

[ionic belfry]

I have freshman and junior friends that love it

[patent badge]

i was abt to apply to RPI but i got lazy lmaooo

[karmic jasper]

lolllll yeah well they gave me a hard sell about their arch program

i also applied to carnegie mellon but got waitlisted sooo

🤗

[patent badge]

o damnn

i got into CMU arch

but idk if i wanna go to cmu lmfaooo

it seems kinda depressing over there

im not sure

[strong juniper]

Lol I got rejected from CMU CS

[patent badge]

their studio looks like a sweatshop

cmu cs is hard af tho

they got some sweaty ass professors

my sister took a bunch of cs classes at cmu and it was like insanely hard

[brazen crag]

pov they put bridges under the bridges at cornell (/j it's probably more for safety than anything)

nets*

[patent badge]

yea the safety nets 💀

[lavish marlin]

no

planning is pretty chill

arch is the hardest major at cornell though

[sand cliff]

Oh fun

"pretty chill" at cornell means "very hard" elsewhere i'd think tho

:P

[lavish marlin]

milstein hall (the architecture building) is the only academic building that keeps its lights on until 5am

that is partially because architecture students have classes that sometimes go to midnight

[patent badge]

oh great

i might i love working in studio i prob could stay there all night

[lavish marlin]

yes

[sand cliff]

you sound like the right type

[lavish marlin]

the cubicles can be extended into beds and there are showers in the studios I've heard

[silent aspen]

!cornell

[patent badge]

like as of now i work on models until 2 am

[sand cliff]

hahaha

that's gotta be a myth

[silent aspen]

How many hrs till cornell?

[sand cliff]

Everything's at 7pm EST

[ionic belfry]

Lmfao

[patent badge]

3:30

[ionic belfry]

R u at Cornell

[patent badge]

3.5 hr

[lavish marlin]

bro

we are in the same cornell discord

[patent badge]

huge

[patent badge]

💀

[ionic belfry]

U have prefrosh in ur roles too

[lavish marlin]

first of all I know for a fact that we've talked

I'm yuzu farmer

[ionic belfry]

Idk abt the showers but the cubicles don’t extend 😭

I’m at studio all the time with my friends

[lavish marlin]

idk my friend said that

[ionic belfry]

They’re small af lmao I would be shocked if they had space for beds

[sand cliff]

still a funny thing to imagine

[lavish marlin]

I rejoined the discord server today after leaving like a year ago

[ionic belfry]

Ah

Yeah I don’t remember our convo

This year has been a blur lmao

[weak valve]

lol

aap is funny to me

cuz one dude i know

is hated by his whole class

LMFADSK

😅

bro shat on the teacher to the teacher

mid-class

i dont get it

whatd he expect

and then he tried to run for president of the major or whatever

or like run for some prize

like what

🍵

[ionic belfry]

TJE PRESIDENT OF MAJOR THING IS SO WEIRD FOR ME

[sand cliff]

jsyk at 7:01 i'm dipping this server forever

cursed place

[weak valve]

to me its the fact that its small enough that any aap major of our year willl know who im talking abt

LOL

[lavish marlin]

how many people are in aap again?

[ionic belfry]

I think Ik who ur talking abt too 😭

[lavish marlin]

thats more than expected

tbh

maybe my perspective is warped because agricultural sciences has 17 freshmen currently

[patent badge]

is the desk size pretty big tho

[tardy steppe]

Real

[weak valve]

5 departments

571 in all 4 years

20 degrees

split up its probably like

20 in each major or whatever

average

[pine cipher]

Thought that was all of Cornell for a second 💀

[lavish marlin]

Do you have a likely

[prime oxide]

I don’t think likelies exist this year

[patent badge]

how many arch students get in per year

[ionic belfry]

Prob like 100

[weak valve]

i wish

[weak valve]

not even a question

gt is better

maybe similar level but yeah cornell's not 30k better

30k per year

adds u[p

[patent badge]

georgia tech is also around 31k out of state

[weak valve]

huh

gatech is 52k

cornell is 90k

was talking abt the difference

[prime oxide]

Cornell’s campus is better tho (trust) (this is a tiny difference)

[patent badge]

oops 💀

[quartz bay]

Chat I feel physically ill

[patent badge]

same

[quartz bay]

How do I burn 3 hrs

[patent badge]

play civ 6

[quartz bay]

LOL

Fair

[crimson oxide]

We back for round 2

[nova fractal]

When it comin out

[normal cradle]

7pm

[nova fractal]

Bruh

[lavish marlin]

I'd say Cornell is probably 20-30k a year better than a state school depending on what you do

[nova fractal]

but the ”state school” in question in Georgia tech

[white tide]

Exactly lol

Gt is t5 cs

[nova fractal]

Yea

[sand cliff]

At some point comparing the best CS programs to each other is fruitless because they are all so good

do you live in georgia?

[lavish marlin]

One of my friends has parents who are MDs at a top investment bank and he guaranteed me a commodity trading position this freshman summer (I had to turn it down since I'm doing a corneal transplant)

[nova fractal]

if it was like vtech or something then I’d be like yea Cornell is worth it

[lavish marlin]

I used to hate prestige back in high school

[sand cliff]

Depends on the person and how much money they have

Cornell is probably not worth it for me over the one and only SUNY binghamton

even if i get in

because of finances

[lavish marlin]

And then I realized that prestige is fucking real

[civic sphinx]

if you decide you don't want to do CS/similar engineering field and change majors then cornell is worth it

[lavish marlin]

Bings not bad though

[sand cliff]

Bing is awesome i'm hyped

[timber inlet]

Why is your name billert

[nova fractal]

It’s been billert for like half a yr

[candid atlas]

bing is a W

[lavish marlin]

Yeah I know so many premeds who come to Cornell and end up doing paleontology or something

[sand cliff]

Binghamton is great and the $9k tuition helps 😂

[nova fractal]

but it was just a troll at first

[timber inlet]

Did you not apply to Cornell suny schools?

[nova fractal]

then I became lazy

[civic sphinx]

yeah if you discover your passion is paleontology at georgia tech, then you're much worse off

[sand cliff]

they don't have my major, no reason for me to apply to something i don't wanna study

[timber inlet]

I thought it was actually your name 😭

[lavish marlin]

Cornell suny schools are expensive as fuck

[timber inlet]

I was like: not 3 now 😭

[lavish marlin]

They're 65k in state

[nova fractal]

True

[timber inlet]

Better than the $90k

[signal vector]

cornell

[civic sphinx]

I have a friend who did a CS engineering degree at Cornell and last minute decided to take an investment banking job

[signal vector]

cornell pls

[civic sphinx]

but idk why im defending cornell when i'm about to be rejected

[lavish marlin]

SUNY discount doesn't stack additively with finaid

[civic sphinx]

f cornell

[signal vector]

cornell pls

[lavish marlin]

If your finaid is above 20k

You don't get any benefit from SUNY

[patent narwhal]

Nah u gotta have faith

[timber inlet]

Skill issue

[sand cliff]

Oh shoot alright

doesn't make a diff for me then

[timber inlet]

Suffering from success(ish) fr

[nova fractal]

Yeah no i saw 2 billers and said let’s make it three

[dense ore]

nobody gets rejected from cornell its a state school lol

[patent narwhal]

Ong

[sand cliff]

Wake up sheeple, Cornell has 38% acceptance rate

[lavish marlin]

Fr

[patent narwhal]

Cornell got that 100% acceptance rate dw ya'll

[alpine moth]

Go do your taxes

[dense ore]

to enlighten us with cornellian knowledge

[lavish marlin]

That's not nice

[dense ore]

insider info

[timber inlet]

Why don’t you do yours

[alpine moth]

Why do you think bro

[timber inlet]

What?

[frigid anchor]

be nice

[lavish marlin]

Anyways I'm done here it seems

Good luck everyone

[frigid anchor]

comments like those will be removed

[frigid anchor]

thank you!!

[alpine moth]

Mods hate fun once again

[candid atlas]

your suffering nourishes us

[alpine moth]

Word

[weak valve]

Gtech ca

Cs

Was the question

Which i was answering

Saying its not 40k better

[lavish marlin]

If you're just trying to go be a faang worker

Don't do any of the two

[heavy marlin]

does anyone know what the deferred acceptance rate is?

[nova fractal]

uh what

[lavish marlin]

Go to asu and get paid to go to college

[alpine moth]

I’d imagine it’s not too different from just the RD rate straight up

[sand cliff]

Silicon valley peeps don't care about prestige they just want you to be a sweaty programmer

[lavish marlin]

If you're aiming for tail-end outcomes, then yes Cornell makes sense

If not then gtech for 40k doesn't make sense either

[drifting hill]

play roblox

[lavish marlin]

Go to a mediocre state school like UTD and grind personal projects up the ass

[old girder]

real

[frigid anchor]

i got into an lac (macalester) for free, would it be wise to go there instead of transfer out eventually?

for better prospects

[lavish marlin]

What else you got

[sand cliff]

BRO FOR FREE???? dawg

[frigid anchor]

northeastern and uw madison

i'm literally getting waitlisted everywhere

[frigid anchor]

yes, i have no clue how but im grateful

[sand cliff]

congrats

[frigid anchor]

thank you.

[frigid anchor]

hope your decisions are going well!

[candid atlas]

do you have any grad school plans?

[lavish marlin]

Macalester is great

It used to be a top LAC

[sand cliff]

I know a dude going there

[lavish marlin]

Took a lot of hits in the past few decades

[sand cliff]

what does that even mean

[patent narwhal]

Congrats that's huge!

[sand cliff]

i'd go almost anywhere for free

except tulsa university

[alpine moth]

And ball state

[sand cliff]

I wouldn't hedge your bets on transferring

Unless u really wanna

[frigid anchor]

if i create a reasonable school list i think i can

[sand cliff]

sure

u do u

dont listen to me i know nothing

[frigid anchor]

ahh nice

[sand cliff]

pursue ur dreams

[alpine moth]

How do you know

[sand cliff]

i mean statstically

expectations low

[frigid anchor]

idk cornell is hard and i've been taking l's these past couple of days

[alpine moth]

Me too

Sigh

2.5 hrs baby!

[frigid anchor]

waiting for 1k members to leave the server after today

[alpine moth]

Lmao I will be one of them

I’m done with this godforsaken place

[tardy steppe]

Same here

Might do something bannable to make sure I don’t ever come back again 🤭

[alpine moth]

Real

Go out w a bang

[tardy steppe]

2.5 more hours of this shit

Then Cornell will come

[drowsy dagger]

Me waiting for my rejection letter so I can convince my parents to order pizza tonight (I dont wanna eat the pasta we have for tonight):

[frigid anchor]

yeah its not like anyone will take my advice when i try to help them with macalester '28 in my name

[alpine moth]

Bro going to McDonald’s

(What’s mac)

Macalester is great

[frigid anchor]

uh

ok

read the room girl

[drowsy dagger]

isint that the computer with the fruit thingy? /s

[prime oxide]

Just stay here for accepted Cornell community trust

[alpine moth]

God willing 🙏

[pseudo tartan]

According to the US Dept of Ed’s “College Scorecard” site (link: https://collegescorecard.ed.gov) the median earnings of GT CS grads is 127k/yr while Cornell CS grads have median earnings of 186k/yr. If all you care about is money (which you shouldn’t because the experience of going to each of these schools is totally different) then even with GT being 40k cheaper (if that’s true) Cornell is still an easy choice. I hope this provides more context for anyone deciding between these two great schools for cs 🙂

[prime oxide]

Take a walk!

[crimson umbra]

do we know when it comes out btw

[stray field]

7

est

2 ish hours

[prime oxide]

186k is actually insane Jesus

[pseudo tartan]

Ikr. CS grads are rich af especially from an ivy

[prime oxide]

Why is ee like 50+k lower 😭

[haughty crown]

Cs is overrated!!!

[timber inlet]

Eh

[alpine moth]

I genuinely hope the CS wave dies to fuck over the people who went into it purely for the money

[haughty crown]

Honestly

[prime oxide]

Btw with all these stats just remember there’s so many confounding variables

I doubt that Georgia tech would actually be that different for the same student than Cornell

[slender matrix]

The Wait so bad shit got me indulging in silence and nature

[alpine moth]

Same

I’m literally doing nothing

Just waiting

[solar cradle]

!cornell

what time does cornell come out

[slender matrix]

7pm et

[haughty crown]

2 hours

[ashen pilot]

shaking in my boots

[lavish marlin]

This has more to do with students than school

Tbf

Cornell is still by far a better choice for people who aren't fully committed to cs (or do it for the money)

[pseudo tartan]

PSA: Don’t do CS for the money!

[drowsy dagger]

too real

coming out of the CS degree sane of mind is probably harder than getting in, if you are in only for the money

[tidal fiber]

2 hrs bruh

[frigid anchor]

idk bro you could be the one guy that doesn't end up with a 186k a year job. go with whatever suits your family financially

[drowsy dagger]

(and the ones who are in it for fun/love never were sane of mind anyways)

[lavish marlin]

Cornell CS has a bunch of infamous weed out classes

[frigid anchor]

dyk anything about brooks

[lavish marlin]

The worst of which is compilers 4120

[drowsy dagger]

tbf the name sounds interesting as fuck

but i can totally see how it can be a brutal class

[lavish marlin]

The class is completely unstructured

It's essentially a semester long group project

You build a compiler from scratch

[drowsy dagger]

yeah that sounds fun

what are they defining as a compiler there

like a true "to machine code" compiler

?

for what lang?

targetting what type of machine?

[lavish marlin]

https://cornellcswiki.gitlab.io/classes/CS4120.html

It's less hard

And more infinite bullshit work

[drowsy dagger]

[lavish marlin]

Probably the only engineering class at Cornell equivalent to a full time job in workload

[drowsy dagger]

"trust me bro it's intuitive"

[lavish marlin]

intuitive 💀

[drowsy dagger]

-source: been teaching this class for 30 years, it's so intuitive!

[lavish marlin]

CS wiki is full of sweats

[drowsy dagger]

i dont get the point tbh

of like

[lavish marlin]

They recommended 2112 and 2802 in same sem for freshman

Those two classes combined

Have over 70 hours a week psets depending on your familiarity with programming

[drowsy dagger]

trying to scare ppl away

if u get wat i mean

[drowsy dagger]

bruh

"dw guys its totally doable, it only took me 25h/week"
->the Comp Programming nerd that already knew most of the content at leats partially+hands on experience

[lavish marlin]

2112 is infamous as a class for comp programmers and it has a 40% withdrawal rate

[drowsy dagger]

bright side: probably not my problem cus i wont get in

[lavish marlin]

https://cornellcswiki.gitlab.io/classes/CS2112.html

[drowsy dagger]

and if it is my problem it sounds kinda fun so win win

[lavish marlin]

When it says 35 hours a week in coding they mean it

You do a minimum 10k line project a week

[sand cliff]

Thank god I decided not to pursue programming 4 years ago

[drowsy dagger]

ok so

not related to shitting on your point (i think you are right, its hard)

but line counts are a bad metric

[lavish marlin]

Yeah true

Although with all this yap I'd say Cornell cs isn't actually that hard

If you do the path of least resistance

[drowsy dagger]

it seems work intensive

[lavish marlin]

It is work intensive

But grade wise

You'll be fine

[prime oxide]

That’s insane…

[drowsy dagger]

not necessarely like "difficult cus teh concepts/grades are insane"

more like "difficult for time commitment"

[rugged gull]

2 hours?

[drowsy dagger]

are you at cornell? asking cus u seem to know a lot about it

[wanton canopy]

[lavish marlin]

Yes

[drowsy dagger]

(late) congrats!

which major?

CS?

[lavish marlin]

Infosci + agsci

[drowsy dagger]

whats agsci

(and infosci)

[lavish marlin]

Agricultural science and information science

[drowsy dagger]

oh ok

mind if i ask why?

[drifting hill]

r u in CALS

[lavish marlin]

Yes

[drowsy dagger]

agsci seems kinda random

[drifting hill]

omg period (i am a cals applicant)

[lavish marlin]

I ran a citrus farm in high school

[drowsy dagger]

fair enugh

[lavish marlin]

And won every agricultural award available to high school students

[drowsy dagger]

My dream is Computer Eng + Pure math

[yes im insane]

[lavish marlin]

I really liked agriculture and despite initially planning to be an electrical engineer, I accidentally made a perfect spike for ag

[drowsy dagger]

fair enough, that explains agsci

[haughty crown]

Guys

What do I do for the next hour or so? The wait is killing me

[drifting hill]

play roblox

[haughty crown]

Genuinely that is a 10/10 idea

Gonna do that

Rn

[drowsy dagger]

Im stabbing people for coins in multiplayer servers of a block game

[drifting hill]

period !

what game

[drowsy dagger]

[aka playing minecraft]

[haughty crown]

Maybe arsenal

[haughty crown]

Ahh what game

[drifting hill]

omg i havent played arsenal since like 2020

[lavish marlin]

Anyways I'm gonna leave this server again ig

[haughty crown]

/ Mini game

[prime oxide]

Take a walk

[drowsy dagger]

hypickle BW

[lavish marlin]

See everyone in another year

[haughty crown]

I should hop on that

[haughty crown]

10/10 game

So chill

[haughty crown]

I’m so tired 😢 got no sleep last night

[lavish marlin]

If anyone wants to know more about Cornell my dms are always open so uhh yeah (being here for more than a few hours makes me sick from the toxicity and elitism atp)

Good luck, go big red, and if you don't get in it's not the end of the world! You'll find your place and the perfect university for you!

[gaunt jungle]

i pulled an all nighter to grind work so cornell knows im very hard working, but now i just wanna go sleep and open cornell when i wake up in the night

[haughty crown]

But when would you wake up is the question

[gaunt jungle]

Probably like 7 hrs from now

😃

I need sleep, but I need Cornell more

[haughty crown]

DONT OPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

spooky

[gaunt jungle]

Lol

For me it would be 9pm in 7hrs

[haughty crown]

Oh…

Then ok open it when you wake up 😇

[arctic current]

ok

[drifting hill]

what ivies did yall apply to

[lavish marlin]

Js this one

[prime oxide]

:(

[void crown]

what time cornell coming out

[prime oxide]

7 est

[lavish marlin]

7pm est

[drifting hill]

same

[void crown]

are most ivies coming 7 est? thats what my friend told me

[sand cliff]

They all are

every single one

lmfao

what if i rescinded my application right now

what would happen

[lavish marlin]

nah this is good bc if u get rejected u just go to sleep and forget about it

Damn imagine those who applied to all ivies

[haughty crown]

Cry yourself to sleep

[lavish marlin]

better than crying while awake

[void crown]

nothing lol u just wouldnt get a decision

[tepid berry]

Cornell and Dartmouth (and Duke which isn't an Ivy, but it's today)

[haughty crown]

You raise great points

[frigid anchor]

hi yall

[tepid berry]

hi

[lavish marlin]

Hello

[void crown]

i forgot ☠️

[frigid anchor]

good luck to everyone ✨✨✨✨

[sly carbon]

michelle what Ivies did you do

If any

[frigid anchor]

Cornell and Upeen

[sly carbon]

Gl

[prime oxide]

Praying for you guys…

[tepid berry]

thanks

I appriciate it

[frigid anchor]

can’t wait to see the poll

a2c usually gets a fair number of Cornell acceptances

[prime oxide]

Yeah

And it could be higher this year

[tardy steppe]

Should probably add a column in the poll for guaranteed transfers

Apparently Cornell does that

[junior pasture]

oh shit decisions are coming out before my prelim today

that’s insane lmao

[lavish marlin]

Nice derrick white pfp

[junior pasture]

thanks he’s been doing good work on my fantasy bbal team

[dull rover]

What’s the acceptance rate for that

Or like the proportion of ppl who get it?!!

At this point I’ll take anything

[drifting hill]

no same

i think i'd do just about anything for an acceptance or guaranteed transfer

i read somewhere that people who dont get off the waitlist are usually offered a Transfer Option

[dull rover]

I THOUGHT IT CAME IN YOUR DECISION 😭

[drifting hill]

i think some people get a TO and some people are later offered one

it prob depends on ur school in cornell

[pine cipher]

if cornell is listening even a transfer option would be great 🥺 🙏

[drifting hill]

https://tenor.com/view/praying-gif-3348052254980566268

CORNELL

CORNELL SAVE ME CORNELL

[frigid anchor]

i will

[frigid anchor]

virtually 100 percent if u go through with it

and complete the transfer requirements

[prime abyss]

somehow forgot today was ivy day even tho I was here yesterday

whoopsie

[true estuary]

good luck everyone! got rejected ed but i wish u all the best! big red will always be in my heart!! ❤️❤️

[drifting hill]

thank u <33 hope u love where ever u end up, cornell didnt deserve u

[dry summit]

Gl guys

[keen sluice]

Good luck

[prime abyss]

🙏 thanks imma need it

[ionic belfry]

Gl kids

I’m always here if u need anything

[prime abyss]

AMEN FRIENDS BEST OF LUCK

[gusty forge]

inshallah

[weak valve]

300 sophomores didnt get housing

[tiny helm]

Are there lots of off-campus options?

[prime oxide]

Oh that’s pretty ironic

[candid atlas]

@frigid anchor im not opening till after iftar

not tryna ruin iftar

[weak valve]

No

Not cheap ones

😭

[tiny helm]

Jeeez that’s awful

[prime oxide]

Did they cover the difference at least?

[dry summit]

Thats not a good sign for rd ngl

[weak valve]

No

[prime oxide]

not the right time

[tiny helm]

Why am I nervous now omg I checked my Cornell portal for the first time today and it updated to like “your decision comes out today”

it’s getting too real

[prime oxide]

That’s awful

[prime oxide]

So ominous

[weak valve]

They just got like waitlisted

And when juniors and seniors who booked dorms waiting for their leases cancel they get those

Everyones getting singles on west rn

Its not too bad

But a lot r still without housing

[tiny helm]

Jae were you able to get the housing you wanted?

[weak valve]

Thats why im saying cornell needs to accept less ppl

[thorny violet]

I was going to take a nap and then I realized today was ivy day, I'm so excited

[weak valve]

Yeah i blocked w a friend who had priority from her forced triple

[frigid anchor]

makes perfect sense imo. wishing you the best.

[steel sparrow]

😂 type shut

[thorny violet]

@frigid anchor @candid atlas good luck today!!!!

[weak valve]

It happens every year

[tiny helm]

W

[weak valve]

In 1940 a professor had to sleep on a bench

[dusk basin]

YOOO

IM SO COOKED

[weak valve]

Bc he didnt get housing

[candid atlas]

TY TY!!!

[candid atlas]

yeah cuz i can just wait the extra 30 min

[tiny helm]

Why doesn’t Cornell make 1-2 more halls?

[weak valve]

Housing and admissions arent in contact

So it doesnt mean anything

[tiny helm]

surely they have the resources

[weak valve]

But its bullshit

[thorny violet]

Less than an hour and then the war will be over 🫡

[frigid anchor]

yeah they own so much land

[weak valve]

Just accept less ppl

[frigid anchor]

💀

[tiny helm]

or they could stop overadmitting

[weak valve]

Reserve

Natives

Native land

[candid atlas]

true

[dry summit]

Yea but like this year they accepted less students through ed then stopped likely letters so im guessing they want less yield from rd

[weak valve]

We r renovating rn

Not building

[frigid anchor]

oh, i didnt know. it's the land of the Gayogo̱hó:nǫɁ, right?

[weak valve]

They plan to swap which dorms r under renovation continuosuly

[prime oxide]

WHATT

[weak valve]

Hopeuflly lowkey

😭

[rough turret]

this hour could NOT pass more slowly 😭

[weak valve]

Gwanehago or smth

[frigid anchor]

why

why do they want less yield from rd

[candid atlas]

is cornell near a reservation?

[weak valve]

That

[thorny violet]

I think that's the name colonizers called them 😥 but I could be wrong

[weak valve]

Yeah

I think so

Lol

[frigid anchor]

editing my message, i remember seeing this somewhere so i'm sorry bc that's insensitive af

[prime oxide]

Introducing: the waitlist

[candid atlas]

i was traumatized when i went to albany and the state capitol had murals celebrating white people killing the Iroquois 💀

[weak valve]

Dickson is a dorm for soph and freshmen

And program hosying

So if they accept less therell be more room

[prime oxide]

Yeah good chance that’s what happens

[wheat hamlet]

No I’m jus wondering

[tiny helm]

50 minutes ❤️

[dry summit]

So the class of 2028 is smaller so there isnt a housing crisis

[frigid anchor]

theres a housing crisis?

[signal vector]

ok thats why i got rejected bc c/o 2028 is smaller good copium!!!

[weak valve]

Last year they had forced quintuple

[signal vector]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-meme-pepe-frog-gif-26117735

[wheat hamlet]

Also I didn’t realize cornell is 90k, so it’s rly 160k extra over 4 yrs

[weak valve]

For freshmen

Or sophomores

It was bad

And many forced triples

[frigid anchor]

forced quintuple

[prime oxide]

That’s insaneee

[frigid anchor]

lmao

[weak valve]

Yeah

[zenith tiger]

are they building new housing?

[prime oxide]

I mean this fact is confirmed ed

[weak valve]

No

Theyre renovating

[zenith tiger]

wat

[dry summit]

Thats what @weak valve said

[frigid anchor]

forced quintuple

[weak valve]

This year they were renovating balch which was the all female

[zenith tiger]

why renovate when the problem is space

[sand cliff]

Imma be real I don't wanna go to cornell

This is just for the memes

[weak valve]

There is one every year

Stop reading into my words talk

Yall*

[weak valve]

Theyre renovating rn and they r dogshit at it too

Balch has been under renovation since like summer

And itll only be half done for next year

So ppl r gonna be living in a building thats still half under construction

😭

[tiny helm]

sorry I had to delete your message but that’s brutal bro

[thorny violet]

I think it's a spelling thing in this case? I think some other "native" names are actually slurs though

[crimson umbra]

live love laugh asbestos

[thorny violet]

.... I have no words

[zenith tiger]

do the renovations create more space??

am i missing something

[tiny helm]

pls stop making jokes about killing urself, they’re like borderline but like we have to delete all of them

😭😭😭

[sand cliff]

Gotchu

sorry

[tiny helm]

borderline as in not egregious

[frigid anchor]

ooh will it be open for next year

[strange plinth]

it’s really not funny though, considering people go through this all the time and don’t receive help

so let’s stop

[frigid anchor]

didnt know cornell had all female dorms

[strange plinth]

women

[sand cliff]

I will go to cornell for my masters so i can concentrate figuratively pulling my hair out over schoolwork into 2 short years

thats better

[bronze wing]

🔒

[frigid anchor]

i hate when people joke about that, it's like making light out of other people's misery

[tiny helm]

infinitely, ty 😭

[weak valve]

The balch does

Its fully under reconstruction

They like

Put the renovations under reconstruction

The only fast renovations r like floor changes from carpet to hardwood

[strange plinth]

we just need to be more considerate and making those kinds of jokes is the opposite direction…

[zenith tiger]

thats so cool!

😐

[weak valve]

Mcclintock is all female this year

They always have all female

Balch is just historically the all female

And by 2025 itll be newly fully renovated

[prime oxide]

So many mods in chat I just realized

[weak valve]

Cuz ivy day

[prime oxide]

Right right

[strange plinth]

LMAO ITS THE BIGGEST DECISION DAY ALL YEAR 🔥🔥🔥

(we’re so stressed)

[prime oxide]

Time for this chat to die after this :D

[strange plinth]

‼️‼️‼️

[prime oxide]

Yall got this!

[weak valve]

Pls dont leave me for the 2028 server

I am better at answering questions

I promise

<3

[prime oxide]

Already done 😔 (I do both)

[thorny violet]

Or barely use either and just stumble in blind 🔥

[prime oxide]

This is probably best

But I’m in too deep now

[drifting hill]

CAUSE IM IN TOO DEEP AND I'M TRYNA KEEP UP ABOVE IN MY HEAD

[dry summit]

Im so glad ive over with decision anxiety since December
Otherwise i wouldnt have been able to focus on much in the weeks leading up to today

[thorny violet]

Ok, I remember which one was a slur now, it's the one that gets taught all the time during APUSH and it's never used in Cornell's land acknowledgement statement but I don't think I have enough info to speak on this but yeah, it's most respectful to use the terms the people use themselves

[prime oxide]

Yeah the week leading up to it was miserable

Yall will get through it tho

[dry summit]

Im gonna finish my workout, get ice cream, and hopefully congratulate yall who make it

[prime abyss]

im gonna get in

trust

[strange plinth]

you ALL got this
